Haha here we go . Sky and co banging on about the glitz of vegas. Meanwhile its all boarded off so apart from the track you can only see the stupid dome thing,and its freezing cold with its bedtime start. Lights out indeed lol.
Give it few years and they will be running it in that car park again.

Is this an event organised with the Venetian? Or are they (you...?) just suggesting a mass fan meet up at a venue that has no idea it's going to occur?

Ferrari's look strong, but I've gone for Saintz, but it wouldn't surprise me if RB pull something new out again and 'suddenly' find pace in the car again, so Liberty can give max the WDC.

I expect LeClerc to fail to capitalise and the McLarens to be up there again. Wonder which Merc will turn up

Hsee the stupid dome thing,
The dome is an amazing piece of tech - it's about the only thing I like about Vegas.

Thanks as ever PiaP! You are due a rest.

I also thought it was last weekend, but that is cos I'm stupid. (...gives some something to cling to biggrin)

Not overly keen on LV. There is an accident waiting to happen I think, that won't be pretty. I trust it doesn't...

Much obliged, as ever, PiaP. Your race post always brightens up the start of race week.

Lots of opportunities for various teams to challenge for the WCC, with McL in the lead, but Ferrari, irritatingly, the favourites. It could be an enjoyable race.

Tacky theatrics aside, I enjoyed last year’s race, so hoping for more of the same.

The early start’s a bit of a ball ache, but it gives me a vaguely respectable excuse for a beer at 6am. Every cloud, eh?

Looking forward to this one, mainly because I've just got back from Vegas and I've mastered the art of clipping the apex at Turn 14 in a Chevrolet Tahoe laugh

Not sure I have seen this shared in any of the other f1 threads, if it has - apologies for repeating!

Williams have put out a fantastic bit of film post-brazil receiving the cars back and some of the processes of rebuild to get ready for Las Vegas.



Well worth 10 minutes of your time and kudos to Williams for documenting it - as an F1 fan I would love to see more of this type of content and insight into teams operations.

Thanks, PiaP!

Not sure how I feel about the C4 timing. Great to not have to stay up late, but the family have got used to not losing me for a couple of hours in the middle of the day! laugh

I enjoyed this race last year, despite so many people deciding it was rubbish before it had even begun. I reckon a Ferrari win.

What's the particular danger with the Vegas circuit? Provided the American have learned how to weld a manhole cover down, should be all good.

Even Mad Max should be chilled here, given that Lando took himself out of contention last race censored

Spotted it too. And I'm guessing the Venetian has no idea it's to be an unofficial F1 meet up venue... I'm sure security will appreciate the surprise.

Why clip the apex? Just run anyone else off the outside of the corner.
